We reserve the right to vary and revoke the Terms and Conditions from time to time which variation it may consider necessary or desirable for the regulation of the affairs of the Studio and the conduct of Clients.

The Terms and Conditions will be governed by the laws of England and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

2 BOOKINGS AND CANCELLATIONS

We use the MINDBODY business management system “System,” for online scheduling, sales, resource and client management. The System is accessed online directly via our website or via the MindBody app.

Reservations are on a first-come, first-served basis and when a class has reached its maximum capacity we reserve the right to refuse admission.

By proceeding to make a booking you are confirming you have read our terms and agree to be bound by them. You may not attend any session at the Studio without first booking and paying for the relevant session. Online payments can be made using a valid credit or debit card. Cash and cheques are also accepted at the studio. You can buy a class package in person but this must be in advance of the class starting.

Reservations for classes can only be cancelled online or by telephone with no charge up to 12 hours prior to the beginning of class. If you cancel after this time, or fail to attend a class that you are schedule for, then you will be charged a “late cancel”. Late cancels are subject to paying the price of the class missed. If you are on a monthly subscription you will be charged a cancellation fee of £10.

Clients must keep an active credit or debit card on file so that any late cancellation and no show fees can be recouped in line with cancellation policy.

3 WAITING LIST

If a class is full you can join the waiting list for a space. You will automatically be added to the class if a space becomes available outside of the 12 hour cancellation window. Your reservation will be confirmed and should you want to cancel you will need to do so within the 12 hours of the class starting or be subject to the cancellation policy. If you are on the waiting list and a space becomes available within the 12 hour cancellation window you will not automatically be added to the class but you will receive an email advising a space is available. If you book in but then cancel you will be a late cancel and subject to a cancellation fee.

4 LATE ARRIVAL & NO SHOW

Classes start promptly so please arrive in time to get changed and sign in. If you have not shown up within 10 minutes of the class starting you will be considered a late cancel and will be subject to the class fee and may not be permitted to take part in the class. This allows those that arrive without a reservation the opportunity to join the class.

It is the instructor’s discretion as to whether to allow you to join the class if you arrive late but you may not in any event be allowed to join the class 20 minutes after it has started; this is for your safety.

If you do not turn up to at all to your reserved class, you will automatically be charged as a Late cancel as above.

5 PRICES

Details of session prices and gift certificate prices are available either at http://www.raisethebarre.co.uk or directly from the Studio and will be such prices as determined by us from time to time. Class packs are class credits that can be used to reserve a space in a class.

4 EXPIRY

Block class packages expire between 3 and 6 months depending on the package purchased. This is from the purchase date. You should note studio closures to ensure sufficient time to use up any unused class credits.
